Originally called "Ouden Tripel", this ancient beer has found a new élan as a regional specialty under its current name: "VanderGhinste Roodbruin".

The main ingredients of our Vanderghinste Roodbruin are malted barley, wheat, hops, water, and caramelized malts. These are used to brew a top-fermented beer.

Blending this beer with lambic beer aged in oak barrels for 18 months, results in this specific West Flanders Red-brown beer. Its typical flavour is characterized by a well-balanced, hardly noticeable sourness. This first flavour impression is soon followed by a second pleasant discovery: a slight bitterness followed by a hint of sweetness.

Color coca cola. Marron turbia de espuma beige cremosa y de retención media. Aroma ligeramente ácido. Suave en boca con agradable carbonatación. Base de ricas maltas tostadas enseguida eclipsadas por la acidez asidrada. Sigue sin ser mi estilo y me cuesta acostumbrarme… pero reconozco que está bien hecha. Y que cada vez me gustan más.

From Spar, Ostend. A good selection of beers for a supermarket.
I don't remember trying this style of beer before.
Dark reddish brown. Roasted malts, a subtle dark vinegar , cherries and plum.
Lively carbonation.
Quite refreshing.
Really interesting stuff

Hey a sour ale. Actually a pretty good one too. Bottled, poured a nice brown with very little head. I liked it much better than the first sour ale I had.

Opaque dark red brown that's almost black with no head retention. Aromas are sour cherries, molasses, and anise with some dark malt. Flavors are like nose, mild sour with a little fruity sweet and just right carbonation. Medium bodied and finished follows flavors. Good but not great.

Aroma of malt, caramel, berries, cherries, sour apples, a hint of oak. Flavour is both sweetish and sour, with the sourness being dominant. Surprisingly tasty.
